Great work!

lovely photo! high score

thank you very much

Nice job !

beautiful, well done.

Nice B&W, good quality, like it!

Interesting effect, but it just seems a bit lifeless in black and white, although the wing is in excellent detail.

I knew some people would think it'd be lifeless in b/w, but I wanted to try it ... I wanted to translate the picture in another language than the coloured one.

Perhaps stronger lighting on the bee would have helped. Without color, it just loses a lot of the "bee-ness," and is merely a dark fuzzy thing with wings, IMO.

It's different and I like, nice mood.

A bit too high contrast. The light values are blown out, with the statue and the cross behind it both showing "glowing white," with no tint at all from the surface beneath.
